My current ranking for the flicks, from best to worst, as of today:
So, looking at the IMDB record for III, I see Ahmed Best listed as Jar Jar. Jar Jar has a non-speaking role in the movie. Does this mean that he got his lines cut before the theatrical release? I wonder who made that call, and how bad it could have been. I kind of liked his role in II as being semi-responsible for the downfall of democracy, after the huge fan backlash (I thought the Gungan chief was far more annoying, despite having much less screen time). I wonder if that was changed to give the fans some sort of joy in watching their hated character water the seeds for the Empire.

I'm interested to see how it goes.
I'll TiVo it, of course, but I'm nervous to see how it transitions formats. Images of the Young Indiana Jones series flash through my head.

Believe me, I was thinking the same thoughts while watching it.
Recently I was watching the episode of Deep Space 9 where Sisko argues with the president of the Federation about civil liberties, freedom, and safety during times of war. As much of a dorky nerdface goon as I sound writing this, I got incredibly upset that a fictional president being portrayed as a hapless fool was far less embarrassing than our current president.

I agree about the dialog comment...American Graffiti was so good, what happened? Anyway I noticed Ahmed Best listed as well. I'm not sure why either, thank again I must have entirely missed whomever was suppose to be Mon Motha, because she got a credit *shrugs*
I'd get into Jar Jar, but I don't have time at the moment...
Also I'd say I'd post my list, but I don't know that I will because it's a little embarrassing, I buck the tides on quite a bit of the series.

Mind you, while my order might not be that far off from the norm, I'm also not placing the bottom that far below the top.

1) Best to worst in terms of quality of movie
2) Best to worst in therms of how much they like them.
My list would differ from most in that I try and combine those to lists to get an overall list.

Plus, it's hard to do the former, considering the years spanning the gap between VI and I. Sure, you can take that into account, but that's hard to do.
So, enough excuses. List me!

Tonight I hope to get started on getting my router set up (since I should HOPEFULLY have my bridge). If I get on-line tonight with my PC from home (which I haven't been since I moved) I'll definately post that list tonight, otherwise remind me tomorrow and I'll try post it here or maybe in my own post (if I can finish up my Sith likes/dislikes)

My roomie and I once inflicted it on a huge Star Wars fanboy our freshman year. He was drinking at the twenty minute mark.
